Happy Towel Day!!! Don't forget to carry your towel with you everywhere (yes, everywhere) you go on May 25th. If you have a camera, snap a few photos of you and your towel, then share them with us on the "Towel Day Pictures" board. If you don't have a camera, just borrow one from a strag. After all, the strag will happily lend you, the hitchhiker, a camera or a dozen other items that you might accidentally have "lost". What the strag will think is that anyone who can hitch the length and breadth of the galaxy, rough it, slum it, struggle against terrible odds, win through, and still know where his towel is is clearly someone to be reckoned with.Click on the banner for instructions on how to put this banner on your web site or signature.

Topic: Design a Banner Contest (Read 25361 times)

At the moment, people seem about as aware of this site as a Bugblatter Beast is aware of someone hiding behind a towel, which is to say, no one knows we are here. So, to remedy this, we want to create a banner that can be put up on other web sites, linking them back here for thrilling discussion, Towel Day planning, etc...

While I can't speak for our host, Donna, I can say that my artistic talent is woefully lacking. That is where you come in. You, or maybe someone who has stolen your identity, get a chance to design a banner for this site. Here is how it works:

1) Design an eye catching (you will have to set them free after the contest) banner that will attract visitors to towelday.net

The winner will receive a fully refurbished EGO compliments of Short Term Meaningless Success Inc. (approximate retail value $0.0000042) Taxes are the sole responsibility of anyone foolish enough to pay them. The creator and sponsors of this contest are not responsible for any loss of humility stemming from misuse of the prize.

I can occasionally draw video game sprites, but I tend not to be so good with basic artistic images. If I think of anything, though, I may and/or may not make and post it.

Apparently this one is already linked to towelday.org. It would probably be a good idea to put this somewhere on the front page to give people a link to that site and design a separate one leading to towelday.net. I suspect it would be confusing if the same banner was used to link to two different sites.

It's been almost a month since the call went out for a banner, but no entries yet. Never fear, I hear VogonGirl is in the process of designing one.

Aaaaactually... Come to think of it, I know a guy who can draw. But he's already working on other some requests of mine, and I don't want to over-burden him. Maybe once he finishes what he's working on now, I'll see what he thinks of the idea.
